One point about the platform standers. Depending on who is doing what for platforms, you will see your roles change as oryx moves to different platforms first.

If you are across from oryx when he first slams his fist, congratulations, you don't need to even get on your platform. You are #4 and can do a little floating of your own. You are, however, still responsible for your own ogre and knight pair. It is very beneficial for you to help #1 out with the first ogre and knight. Once that is done you both can fully focus on ogre #4 when it comes up, helping it go down faster. if the regular floater is taking care of knight #4 you're good to go after the 4th ogre. If it makes sense hit that knight, but don't stress on it -- the floater up top has a better angle and you're likely taking heavy fire from the adds -- get to safety. Also, if you think the other half of the map is going to have ogre trouble, you can ditch your platform buddy once his ogre is down and soften up the ogres over there before yours comes up.

If you are in the front right or back left you won't have any other strategy -- your ogre will be coming up sooner than your partner's ogre. You shoot your ogre, you kill your knight, and you help your buddy with his knight if it's not dead already, then head to the middle. While jumping off the platforms as to not go down with the hive ship. =)

If you're in the back right or front left it's a little more nuanced. You may be platform #3, which will change the order a little. You will still need to jump up on your platform. But you'll be hitting the ogre across from you first, then your own ogre, then your knight. (the same as if you were a floater, but you're still on your platform)

Seems complex in writing like this, but isn't that bad. Really it's kill your ogre, then your knight, and help out as makes sense before and after that part happens, then get to the middle when it's time to do so.
